2008 US Open Thread (TP South)

So Rocco's up a stroke going into the final 3 holes ... all of which are well suited for his draw.

Johnny Miller wouldn't shut up about this yesterday. It's not like they're severe doglegs left and Rocco hits a hook. Rocco went 3-4-5 yesterday and Tiger went 3-4-4 on that stretch.

It's not the severity of the dogleg but the way the hazards are aligned that makes the draw advantageous. At least IMO.

I agree that Miller beat the he!! out of that point.

Rocco needs to stick this approach shot inside six or seven feet. He needs to make a birdie.

What happens if they tie after 90 holes?

[Walther]

If Tiger makes this for eagle, the crowd could storm the green!

I'll have to pour myself some 30 year old scotch to calm my nerves.

[topspin4hand]

A tie after 90 holes = Sudden Death hole, no? I don't know which hole though.

I would imagine something like 18, 17, 18

[BruceMGF]

Jesus, can't they just declare co-champions?

[golf_junkie27]

They are going to a par 3, 7th hole.

If I didn't have to drive - my car - after this, I'd do that too.

[MunkeyGolfer]

I would imagine something like 18, 17, 18

7, 8, 18 I think is what they just said.

[Thrash13]

I believe the 7th is a par 4, and the 8th is the par 3.

7, 8, 18 I think is what they just said.

I'm not watching, and my stupid work computer doesn't have flash, so I was just guessing.

im about to vomit...

[golf_junkie27]

I bet the suits at ESPN are calling their comrades at NBC and planning to put out a joint DVD: Rock vs. Tiger at Torrey Pines.

Would probably sell more copies than any other golf video.

[Walther]

I have to think Rocco would have the advantage on the par threes today, and Woods would have a huge advantage on the par 5s
